OT: Tiger justice
So these punks were drunk, stoned, and taunting the tigers and other animals at the zoo. Certainly no one should die for that but part of me gets a good satisfaction about that big cat thinking "enough of this BS" and doing something about it. I hate punks. The two brothers who lived are facing charges in a separate incident of resisting arrest and assault and battery on Police Officers. Wonder if this incident taught them some manners and respect?

They hadn't learned their lesson as it played out, just listen to the 911 recording. One wonders if the dead kid was trying to save his compadres or just stumbling around drunk and stupid. Death by misadventure. It is unfortunate that the tiger was killed because of their behavior.

Nope! The little lyin' bas---ds are denying that they teased the cat, but forensic evidence indicates otherwise. I hope that the survivors pay dearly for their thoughtless actions.

Kinda reminds me of the lyrics from the old Jim Croce song:
"You don't tug on Superman's cape
You don't spit into the wind
You don't pull the mask off the 'ole Lone Ranger
And you don't mess around with Jim"
(And you don't shoot a slingshot at a Bengal Tiger!)

I'd say two punks that from that day forward, will forever be haunted by the sound of "GGGRRRRRROOOOOAAALLLL!" I can see it now, they're laying in wait to rob some lil' ol' lady of her purse, as they jump out, she yells, "GGGRRRRRROOOOOAAALLLL!" and two punks turn tail and run!

I do not like zoos and I do not understand how they can possibly be legal in this day and age. When you have seen wildlife in its true native habitat, you know that seeing a large mammal holed up in some pathetic "exhibit" in a zoo is just incredibly inhumane and incredibly stupid. The zoo should not exist in the fisr place, the tiger should not be locked up in a zoo in the first place, and the whole incident just proves points one and two.
I've been forunate to see Bald Eagles, whitetail deer, black bear, turkeys, porcupines, a whole passel of squirrels, foxes, and numerous other animals in their native habitat in northeastern PA's wolderness areas. I have had a bald eagle fly just above my car, crusing along with me as I drove down an old logging road into a State Forest area in Pike County, PA. I'looked up at that beautiful bird and realized that zoos are just so stupid.
We need to shut down the zoos and free the animals! People with brains, UNITE and join this noble cause for justice for animals and victory for freedom! You know, one other thing: where are the environmental nazi's and PETA freaks when you need them? I never hear them mutter one peep about the inhumanity of zoos, and yet they get all upset if I eat a hamburger while wearing a pair of leather shoes. Darn them!

I read somewhere, "wrist rockets". If so, that would lead me to believe there's evidence left behind. It'd rile me up. ?cas wrote:How does one do that? Stick out your tongue, hands open with your thumbs in your ears? "Nah nah nah na na nah!"

There's a lesson in here somewhere...
Don't play "Here Kitty, Kitty" without a plan to satisfy the cat's curiosity...?
There is such a thing as too much p***y...?
Even dumb animals hate a-holes...?

Government office attracts the power-mad, yet it's people who just want to be left alone to live life on their own terms who are considered dangerous.

Unfortunately, something innocent did die - that magnificent tiger. The survivors ought to be charged with killing an endangered species. As much as I dislike those laws, finally one could be used for a little good. After all, if they hadn't teased the tiger, their friend/brother and the tiger would still be alive today.
As a lesser charge - given the relative value - they could be charged with second-degree murder...

You don't hear a single cry from the environmental ying-yangs and the PETA people about the darn ZOO. None of them is saying, "uh, why the hell was the tiger locked up in a zoo to begin with? Well, I'M SAYING IT. Free the animals, for if some of God's children be ensalved, none of us is free. Join me. We must free the animals. Then, we go hunting!! But wait, seriously, we must free the animals in the zoos because our humanity demands it.

Lets see a couple of punks get drunk and taunt the tigers at the zoo. Read some stories here that members did when young and foolish, don,t remember anyone being glad they got hurt. Sure they deserve a boot in the *** but to be mauled to death. They didn't let the tiger out they were yelling ,hasn't been shown that they threw anything either. With the constant religious OT posts on the forum I thought maybe one of those "Pray for" post would be helpful for the families of those affected. Don't want to start any bickering but I felt the need of at least one post on the side of the dead kid.

The problem is that in todays world no one is responsible for their own actions. It's always someone elses fault. Even thought the fence, or wall, was shorter than the minimum requirement, the tiger had not gotten out before.
So, it couldn't have been the fault of the three who were teasing the tiger, it had to be "someone elses fault".

Republic. I like the sound of the word. It means people can live free, go or come, buy or sell, be drunk or sober, however they choose. Some words give you a feeling. Republic is one of those words that makes me tight in the throat . . . . Some words can give you a feeling that makes your heart warm. Republic is one of those words.

Foxtrapper, I know where you are coming from, at first I felt the same way. Than the surviving brothers hired a scumbag lawyer, Mark Geregos, the clown who defended Scott Peterson and Michael Jackson (among other idiots), to go after the zoo for millions of bucks. I don't like zoos, never have, but if they succeed the papers report the zoo might have to close due to paying the millions to these punks and their lawyer. That is when I got PO'd, just because I don't like zoos people and kids who do should be able to enjoy them. Instead, these punks may end up millionaires and they flat don't deserve that.foxtrapper wrote:Lets see a couple of punks get drunk and taunt the tigers at the zoo.

Minorities are ruining this country.
These 'mooks decide to climb the fence at the tiger exhibit, yell at the tigers, possibly hurl things at it and get attacked. They know nothing about the natural world beyond their ghetto upbringing and so learn the hard way and get a beautiful tiger killed as a result of their shenanigans. I'll bet they sue and win because "the zoo should have had an idiot-proof wall up so we could be protected from ourselves."
BUTTS. I bet they have already reproduced, so it's too late.

I look at it this way, the tiger probably did us all a favor. I doubt those fellas were exactly pillars of their community. I feel bad for those family's if they truly feel a loss. But as for the natural selection that occured, well, when you play with fire it shouldn't come as a suprise to anyone that you get burned.jazman wrote:Foxtrapper, I know where you are coming from, at first I felt the same way.
